COUNTROWS

posted on August 14, 2017

« Back to Glossary Index

Definition

The COUNTROWS function counts the number of rows in the specified table, or in a table defined by an expression.

Syntax

COUNTROWS(<table>)

Remarks

This function can be used to count the number of rows in a base table, but more often is used to count the number of rows that result from filtering a table, or applying context to a table.

Whenever there are no rows to aggregate, the function returns a blank. However, if there are rows, but none of them meet the specified criteria, the function returns 0. Microsoft Excel also returns a zero if no rows are found that meet the conditions.
